What is the image quality advantage of the a-Si flat panel Flat foX-17 & foX-Rayzor field operated systems compared to CCD based systems?
The a-Si flat panel Ssstems reflect a quantum leap in the image resolution. We can see up to 4lp/mm with the digital panels, meaning that it offers about 10 times the resolution of CCD based systems that provide only up to 1.3 line pair/mm (the pixel size area for this unit is approximately 10 times smaller). As for the dynamic range, the digital panels provide 14 Bit data, meaning that they have 16,384 gray levels building the X-ray image, instead of the 8 Bit (256 gray levels) in a standard CCD based system – that represents 64 times greater dynamic range (i.e. 64 times more information delineation).
